Free New Covent Garden Soup is back!

Last time you could print unlimited coupons directly from their website and enter any old email address whether it existed or not, but they've tightened things up a bit this time. Fortunately we've got about 60 email addresses ready for this sort of thing, but they can restrict the number printed from each laptop/PC with coupon printer software and we've only got 5 devices to print from (never chuck out old knackered laptops until they're completely dead).

EDIT: Just keep using additional email addresses to keep printing two vouchers per address

Print and buy from Morrisons for £1, use £1 vouchers and they're free

Only trouble is our freezers are stuffed with free pizzas and we've still got some soups in them the last time they were free, we've been putting frozen cartons of soup to eat later in our freezer bag when we've been getting free pizzas as there's no room for ice blocks.

And our fridge is completely stuffed with cheap cheese, free yogurts, free Birds Eye pasta and free fruit & veg from Morrisons.

 

Ever thought of getting a refridgerated lorry Scrunge?

I've got two 12v 28L electric chiller boxes and two 240v mains to 12v 'cigarette lighter' adapters in case of short term capacity overload, that I've previously used on camping sea fishing trips on sites with leccy hook up, also useful to keep the cheese, milk, spread, etc, cool.

Might be able to squeeze 5 cartons in the fridge.



P.S. It's looking like 2 coupons for free soup per email address, and as we've got over 50 email addresses we wont be going short of soup. Coupons valid until 30th Dec, but I'll add a link to another place they appear that gave a longer expiry date last time,

 

Just remembered an 'overheard conversation' I read about on MSE - A 'posh' couple shopping in Waitrose were overheard remarking about those coming in just to get a free coffee, say "This place gets more like a soup kitchen every day", but they noticed the posh pair had loads of reduced NCG soups in their trolley, plus had a fist full of printed money off vouchers, so they were using them to get money off their other shopping, and the irony of their comments was lost on them.

P.S. Asda might reduce their price to £1 with a few days after they get fed up with paying customers the difference + 10% with their price guarantee. But that's yet another way to get stuff for free and get a bonus, but must be exactly same variety/size, required number of items, and you'll get paid 5p per carton to take it away http://www.asdapriceguarantee.co.uk/

 

The next one I'm looking out for is another Sun offer that's been going for the last 2 years (or more) where a 40p spend gets a voucher for packs of party food at Iceland, such as packs of mini-chocolate eclairs, samozas, spring rolls, vol au vent, etc.

 

cheers @Scrungee i got the soup this evening

 

Incredibly cheap Brie, just in time for Xmas:

President Brie 200g is half price 90p at Tesco (until 9th Dec) and you can claim 30p Topcashback on it if bought between 2nd (today) and 8th December. http://www.topcashback.co.uk/SnapAndSave/upload/2408

If you buy that Brie as part of a £12 dairy shop and use the £3 off £12 voucher from p1 of Tesco's Xmas mag, it gets the cost down to 67.5p. Opt to be paid your 30p cashback in Tesco Clubcard Points with a 5% bonus (31.5), gets the cost down to 36p, using those points in a 'double up' promotion gets the cost down to only 4.5p, but using them at up to 4x face value for deals gets the cost down to minus 58.5p. Cor, more free food.


I think today's shopping will be Brie from Tesco, plus a 5 pack of Ferrero Rocher (£1.25 less £1 Shopitize cashback), free soup from Morrisons, free 6 x 1L bottles of sparling mineral water from Sainsburys (Quidco or Checkoutsmart cashback) free Xmas wrapping from O2 shop, free chocolate coins and free box of £4.99 Xmas cards from WH Smith (last three with O2 Priority Moments) followed by free coffee/tea at Waitrose. I think we now only need to buy bread and milk for the next couple of weeks.

 

Anybody drink Um Bongo juice? It's half price at Tesco @ 64p and there's a pdf voucher on Um Bongo's website to get 50p off. It prints rather large so I used my printer setup to make them smaller and save on ink. Using the vouchers gets the price down to 14p for a 1L carton. Save the file and print as many as you like/are cartons on the shelves.

http://www.umbongo.com/uploads/files/Um_Bongo_50p_Coupon_-_1ltr.pdf

But hurry as the price goes back up tomorrow!!! on 3rd Dec (save the pdf as this juice is regularly half price and it's valid until March 2016).

The 'Original' can also be used for making wine, google for recipes. The ones we got were best before end Aug 2015 so will last a long time if you get an enormous haul of them. It doesn't mention the apple & mango version on the coupon, but it works on them so you can clear the shelf of every variety.

Whilst in Tescos pick up a £1.15 600ml bottle of Pepsi Max from the sandwich cabinet (elsewhere they're 500ml) and claim £1.25 cashback from Quidco https://www.quidco.com/clicksnap/details/3346/free-pepsi-max-600ml/?ref=/clicksnap/offers/all/

**********
The £1 price for soup at Morrisons lasts until 28th Dec. Now the internet is working again I've found you can keep on getting voucher link emails sent to the same email address, so unlimited free soup yet again.

The place where the Ristorante pizzas are in my local Morrisons has looked like this for 2 days now



Found a price promise for over a pound on the way into Tesco so used that, found a £1 coin the way out and pocketed that. Another successful day's shopping.

 

@Jiffy Barcode numbers can be input manually, but some sales assistants (especially at Morrisons) will not be bothered to do that and refuse it simply saying it doesn't scan and hand it back. Have you printed them at best quality? And have you tried changing the layout on your printer set up, for example if set to portrait, change to landscape before clinking on the voucher link as barcodes sometimes print better one way than another. The coupon printer software will not override the printer setup, just checked it:

I've been meaning to try that just for the fun of it. Using a staffed checkout you would need several other different vouchers to make it less obvious, and preferably pick a young, male, SA who has a Sat/Sun job and will happily put everything through (known as a 'happy scanner'). If you use the self scans and put one through, if the second one doesn't work the supervisor will override the till and put the second one through as the 2nd one will be a different value and they'll be none the wiser from what they see on the screen, but you need some other bits and pieces in your shop so they think the 1st coupon was for them. But if the barcodes aren't readable your coupons could start attracting too much attention.

 

Did you try printing them rotated at 90 degrees? If that doesn't work it's probably worth getting another printer as we've used ours for printing about £500's worth of vouchers over the last 12 months. There's probably some good offers still around with Cyber Monday earlier this week.

We got a massive amount of ink carts for our HP printer when Tesco had them at nearly half price + buy 2 get 1 free + 500 points when you buy 2 HP ink carts + had an online code to get something like £15 off £75, plus we went through a cashback website, plus Tesco were paying £1 in points for the used carts. They worked out ridiculously cheap and we paid for most of a narrow boat holiday with the bonus points just from those ink carts.

 

A Sprat to catch a mackerel methinks !

 

Wow! When I saw this I thought we could empty out Tesco Direct and buy a mansion, yacht, limo, etc. with all that cashback we'd be getting with £25 back for every £1o spent, using all our savings and credit cards to the hilt, then ebaying/carbooting the lot to make a vast profit http://www.topcashback.co.uk/tesco/

 

Last day today 7th for free pizzas at Morrison's, they are back to full price tommorrow, Asda have already put theirs up according to my supermarket.
